You Can Succeed in School if you Will Part
“Though I
graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors
protected me with the same theory and knowledge as those students completing
their teacher’s degree program in clinical lavatory science”. Mishak said

You Can Succeed in School If You Will Part 1
Chris Mishak; who earned a degree in
Medical Laboratory Technology from DCC in 1998, is the second MLT graduate from
DCCC to be accepted into physician assistant’s school.
In August 2011, Mishak will begin
studying at Emory University in Atlanta to become a physician’s assistant.
He says DCCC prepared him to
transfer to Winston- Salem State University, where he earned his under graduated
degree in clinical laboratory science in 2004. Since then, he has worked in the
lab at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
“I
learned pretty much everything that I needed to know about laboratory science
at DCCC. Many of the clinical applications that I learned there I still use
today either in my medical volunteering in phlebotomy or in the duties of my
current job, which includes training new technologists on cell identification,”
said Mishak.
It
is pretty easy to be successful in school. If students work hard and honorably,
its not difficult at all. All students need to do is study, put in the time;
its as simple as that. If students aren't willing to study now, it will be very
difficult to develop this habit later on. Therefore, I suggest that students
work hard in their studies and at being good people, doing nothing to get them
in trouble during high school. By doing so, they will enjoy success during high
school and throughout their lifetime.

Andrea Packer
anticipates graduating with a B.A. in Education from Catawba in December 2011
and then enrolling in the Master of Arts in Teaching program from Salem
College, also offered on the Davidson Campus. Packer spends her days on the
Davidson Campus working 29 hours a week as a teaching assistant for instructors
in the DCCC Early Childhood Education Program.
“Not only did
receiving this scholarship make me study harder and be the best I could be, but
it also allowed me to graduate in May 2010 with my associate degree totally
paid for, “ She said. “ I couldn’t believe I had my first degree, and I was
debt free. What a wonderful blessing!”
If students work
hard during high school, complete all assignments on time, and demonstrate a
bright positive attitude toward school, learning, and other people then they can
be highly successful as a high successful as a high school student and qualify
for acedimic scholarships also. All they need to do is put in the time. All the
hard work and effort during high school will definitely pay off. They will be
rewarded for their hard work. But if they just mess around during high school
years and neglect their studies,use drugs, and mistreat others, then they can
expect to fall short of what could have been their rewards of scholarships and
other opportunities, and they will suffer in the short and long term. Invest in
yourself. Give yourself opportunities of a lifetime by succeeding in high
school on a super high note. Then you can:

Andrea Parker- without the prestigious DCCC
Presidential Scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Packer, a 2010 DCCC honor
graduate, says she doubts she would already be pursuing her baccalaureate
degree from Catawba Colleges. “I cannot say thank you enough to whomever paid
for my education, and I am going to continue to do my best to make them happy
that they invested in me,” she said.
Since August 2010, Packer, 20, has been
working toward her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Catawba
College, and she doesn't have to leave DCCC’s Davidson Campus to do so. She
said she likes the convenience of leaving her teaching assistant’s job in one
DCCC building and walking only steps to her evening Catawba classes where she
is taking history, statistics and education courses.

everything Noah accomplishes including earning several professional
